So, I'm slowly putting together a bucket racer, based on a Suzuki Goose rolling chassis, sans brakes. Managed to aquire 2nd hand brake parts, especially the front disc, which has a rather uncommon mount for a Suzuki - 6 bolts, 100 mm PCD, 80 mm centre hole [1]
Problem 1: Only have 4 bolts - actually flange head socket cap screws. And they're used, so I want 6 new ones.
Problem 2: The local Suzuki dealer does not have the part number of the bolts, as shown by the microfiche, in their ordering system!
Problem 3: Cannot track down source of flange head socket cap screws - Tried Shrodeco (sp?), Steel & Tube etc but no luck.
Question: Just so long as I get a decent grade bolt (e.g. 8.9 and above), can I get away with flanged hex head cap screws? - I'm presuming the flange is there for a reason...Is there anything specific about the disc bolts that I need to be aware - should they be stainless, plated?
Cheers,
FM

P.S. anyone got a GS/GN/DR/DF125 or FXR150 motor [2] they want to send my way for nowt, or close to it...
[2] I rather dislike the idea of sticking a motor from one manfacturer into another manufacturers frame - it just ain't right...
